WIA requires that local areas provide comprehensive youth development services through the 10 youth program elements. In order to create a coordinated system, all stakeholders must be able to collaborate so that youth receive the services they need. This webinar will focus on mapping your local system so that all parties know what and where services are provided and what level of collaboration is needed to build a successful system.
